Thirty

December 15, 2008. My 30th birthday. I always thought about having a huge party on the roof or at the penthouse of a building, with a complete gig set for live rock and roll music, free-flowing beer and hard drinks, tons of people, and just all out fun.

So how did I spend my 30th birthday? I spent most of the day getting PLU fixed. Yes. On my 30th birthday I was at a car shop. This is actually by choice as I had really no extra money to spend on a party anyway, and a larger reason really was katamaran - I didn't want to do anything.

Mae Dei even dogged me for being corny and not "celebrating" my birthday like any other person would. On the other hand, she went absolutely crazy that I spent money on the car.

Anyway, I had PLU get all liquids flushed and then undergo a change oil (long overdue), replaced all spark plugs for a tune up, engine washed, foam washed, put in a new radiator coolant, replenished break fluids, fixed the headlights, replaced bulbs on the break lights, and replaced the worn down wipers.That is almost the equivalent of a human being getting a detox treatment. Which made me think: "Should I have gotten a detox at 30 for myself as well?"

The equivalent of a human detox.
